While at the Messiah Conference in PA this past summer, I bought a book by Jaclyn Zant. I had never heard of her, but the seller assured me that I would love it and would want to purchase all 3 books in the series!

The author was Jaclyn Zant and boy do I love her books, "Petrified Hearts." Jaclyn wasn't raised Jewish but she fell in love with the Messianic Movement after visiting a Messianic Congregation.

I call her books "Messianic fiction." They are full of mystery, drama, romance and comedy.

Here's a little more about "Petrified Hearts" - a novel series about healing and learning to trust God when life unravels.

Sassy
and independent, confident and secure, growing up in the family
business with her four brothers has taught Rae to be fearless,
tough-minded, and not so easily intimidated—assets in their
male-dominated profession. When her mother, both nurturer and friend—and
the only oasis in this sea of testosterone, is suddenly killed, Rae’s
life is up-ended, leaving her wounded, confused and resentful toward
God. But when a prank leaves her stranded far from home and the shelter
of her dad and brothers, she learns she cannot run from Him for very
long.

Centered around church and family, Heath’s life was ideal—or so
he thought. Then, when his wife suddenly wants out, the rug is pulled
out from under him. Left alone to care for his eight-month-old son, his
heart and his life in pieces, moving back in with his mom and the group
of elderly boarders who share her house, seemed the practical thing to
do. But is he really just hiding-out?‘For better or for worse’Andrea
had made vows to God—who knew that ‘worse’ would come so quickly in
their marriage and stay so long? When, after twenty-five years, Andrea
is widowed, she purposes in her heart that she will eschew marriage and
devote herself only to God—but is that His will for her?

Our deepest
hurts and disappointments: who can heal them? We make promises that we
will never again allow our heart selves to be hurt and hold back part—or
all—of our heart from God. But in His mercy, God wants to heal our
hurts and draw us close to Himself as He reveals to us His heart of
love.

I love how my friends give me great tips on interesting folks for Bagels and Blessings. I had the privilege to interview Terry Beatley and was completely blown away! Order her book "What if We've Been Wrong - My Promise to America's Abortion King" at www.abortionking.com and mention code "BB" to get a great discount!

After twenty years working in the insurance and investment business, Terry did what feminists
had warned would be most dissatisfying – she became a stay-at-home mom
homeschooling her children for the next eight years and loved the
experience! While studying American history, Terry became perplexed as
to how America overcame slavery only to dehumanize another category of people – unborn babies.

Her
quest for answers uncovered how the feminist-led abortion lobby has
successfully usurped and undermined parental rights. Terry's research
culminated in a rare interview of Bernard N. Nathanson, M.D., the regretful cofounder of NARAL who trained Planned Parenthood doctors how to perform abortions and admitted to fast-tracking a racist population-control plan and manipulating Catholics to support the pro-abortion agenda. This interview and the promise Terry made Dr. Nathanson changed her life forever.

Listening to Dr. Nathanson's remorse for exploiting women and stripping the unborn child of all rights and protections inspired Terry to make Dr. Nathanson a promise: to teach Americans his 8-point strategy of deceit and to deliver his personal parting message about "lov[ing] one another" until it becomes common knowledge or until Roe v Wade is overturned. As president of Hosea Initiative, Terry stays laser focused on the mission of teaching to bring healing truth to our broken world because all lives matter.

In 2016, Terry released her compelling book, What If We've Been Wrong?Keeping my promise to America's "Abortion King," written
for people on both sides of the abortion issue. In addition, she
secured the exclusive movie rights to all of Dr. Nathanson's literary
works. A feature film is in the planning stages.

Terry has been a contributing writer for The Washington Time’s “Power of Prayer” supplement, WND, Fairfax Free Citizen and The Free Lance Star; radio and podcast interviews include
In the Market with Janet Parshall, America Outloud’s “Life, Liberty and
the Pursuit of Pleasure, WND, Family Research Council’s “Washington
Watch” and lecture talk, Dr. Richard Land Live, A Closer Look
on Relevant Radio, EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly with Catherine Szeltner, Steve
Deace Show, Rob Schilling Show, Radio Maria, Culture Shock Radio, The
Gospel of Life, and Dominion Radio. Terry has been interviewed for articles in The Catholic Herald newspaper, World Magazine, Virginia Right, and The Washington Post.

A
graduate of the 2014-2015 Chuck Colson Fellows Worldview Program, Terry
discovered three years earlier how influential worldview training is
while managing a PAC in 2011. It helped defeat Planned Parenthood’s
“Saving Grace in the Virginia General Assembly" earning Terry the title,
"The Worst Virginian in the World" by a pro-abortion blogger and "The Greatest Impact Award" by
a pro-life blogger. Terry has worked to awaken Virginians to the
domestic and international threat to their parental rights and she has
worked toward racial reconciliation by uplifting the principles of
American liberty in minority communities. Currently, Terry serves on the
Virginia Christian Alliance Board of Directors.

She is a 1986 Virginia Tech graduate; resides in Virginia with her husband of 30 years and two children.
